"I’ve made more progress at OPEX in 6 months than I have on my own in the last 3 years. It’s incredible and I still can’t believe a gym like this exists. I’ve never experienced anything like it, and I’ve tried pretty much everything out there in the last 15 years."

" I’m way healthier than I would be. I just feel good. Whenever I go to the doctor, it’s almost a game to me. They always rave about how my blood pressure is so low, and I know if I hadn’t been doing OPEX this probably wouldn’t be the case. …And when I donate blood, they always comment on my (perfect) blood pressure. They’re just floored by it, and it’s because of OPEX."
